A recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of glyphosate, a carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in all urine samples tested.

The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at 5- to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water.

This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.

Glyphosate in Monsanto’s Roundup Impacting Global Health

This news comes only one month after it was found that glyphosate, contained in Monsanto’s Roundup, is contaminating the groundwater in the areas in which it is used. What does this mean?

It means that toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world’s drinking water through the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs. The recent reports of glyphosate showing up in all urine samples only enhances these past findings.

Monsanto continues to make the claim that their Roundup products are completely safe for both animals and humans. However, many environmentalists, scientists , activists, and even doctors say otherwise.

Glyphosate radically affects the metabolism of plants in a negative way. It is a systemic poison preventing the formation of essential amino acids, leading to weakened plants which ultimately die from it.

A formula seems to have been made to not only ruin the agricultural system, but also compromise the health of millions of people worldwide. With the invention of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops, resistant superweeds are taking over farmland, and public health is being attacked.

As it turns out, glyphosate is also leaving behind its residue on Roundup Ready crops, causing further potential concern for public health. Glyphosate is even contributing to escalating rates of mental illness and obesitythrough the depletion of beneficial gut flora that directly regulates these functions.

But it certainly doesn’t stop there.

Researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed. Even at a concentration of 1 ppm, the Roundup was able to affect the test subjects by decreasing their testosterone concentrations by as much as 35%.

All evidence points to Monsanto being a eugenics based company, controlled by the Rockefellers and with significant investment from the Gates Foundation (a foundation which has been regularly accused of using vaccines as a eugenics program in the third world).Given the most recent articles related to the prior knowledge of the CDC in the tremendous damages vaccines have been doing to our children(see, for example, www.tinyurl.com/88288rp andwww.tinyurl.com/7exftxv), it is long time to bring these subhuman criminals to justice- including execution if appropriate after trial.At the very least Monsanto should have its corporate charter revoked and money ties should be investigated. We all know where it leads. It should be proven and appropriate action should be taken.

What I want to know is where do the elites (Montsanto execs, the Rockefeller kiddies) get THEIR water and food? Because obviously informed consumers would like to know what safe options exist! Or did the eugenics crowd not consider preserving a source of pure water and food for themselves? (which I doubt)

WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF BEES...WHY??? Because monsanto's weed poisons are being sprayed on flowering weeds which bees get pollen.BEES DIE FROM THIS...THOSE THAT DON'T DIE END UP WITH DISEASES..NO BEES NO FOOD.

Just wait until only Monsanto corn and other products are available. Don't forget their plan to KILL all BEES and replace them with bees that only will pollinate Monsanto crops. If one method doesn't KILL people through starvation, the other will will do it through infertility:

Roundup DOESN'T break down in the soil. It just runs off into the water supplies. Monsanto is not the only culprit here...just the biggest. The medical/industrial giant BAYER is probably responsible for the bees dying off. Don't use Roundup in any form. Don't use chemical pesticides or fertilizers, because these also end up in water supplies. A little research goes a long way...companion planting, beneficial insects, organic fertilizers, and compost will yield great results. Fruit trees can be covered with netting to keep the birds away. BOYCOTT MONSANTO!!!

theres one reason the Bushes bought the huge parcel of land in Paraguay, it is directly over a fresh water aquifer, they'll have their clean water for millenium to come, screw the rest of us unless we can pay them in gold, because I'm sure they won't be taking the fiat currency of the now defuct land of America.

america is falling the government is totally corrupt, the dollar is over, they are poisening the food and water on perpose, its all about one more election, the government is the big problem, the democrats and republicans both are paid off by the federal reserve. and the wall strret banks diane feinstein and obama passed the national defense authorization act to have the military enslave americans under terriorism with bill Hr 1540 1021 1022 for 60 years, with out due process. dont vote for either side, they will run to the bunker when america falls and have the military kill us, the revolution will be live and will be televised. we are in mcarthey communisum

How many can research this. A company called Medidata designed computerised medical check ups and computerised medical records. The pharmaceutical/chemical company GD Searle became the parent company, who also produced Aspartame. BUPA bought GD Searle Medidata's health check up system in the UK. Medidate became Mediquip andDonald Rumsfeld became chairman of GD Searle in 1977 and was instrumental in Monsanto's take over of GD Searle in 1985. Question is, is Monsanto behind the £11bn Summary Care Records in Britain? Are the drug companies Cameron was referring having access to the Summary Care Records, Monsanto or a subsidiaries of Monsanto?

What has Monsanto got to do with Cambridge University? Word of mouth is they're employing Cambridge professors.How many other companies are subsidiaries of Monsanto and what are their names?Besides Monsanto how many and what are the names of their subsidiaries in the UK and what are they doing in the UK? (are they undermining the NHS)Who represents Monsanto UK and the subsidiaries, and who have they been lobbying in parliament?

I think Monsanto & co have permeated into the UK in an underhanded manner, but do not have the time to research for evidence at the moment.

If this is the case it could be the reason how foreign companies are bribing and controlling parliament via lobbying and sponsoring parties via a UK subsidiary. It could be the reason why, when it's so hard to get a green card to work in the US, somehow there are an increasing number of Americans working and voicing their opinions on the radio in the UK!

If this is the case the solution could be for Britain to BAN all party sponsorship and give the parties an allowance to promote themselves and thereby protecting Britain from corporations like Monsanto.I would be grateful for these ideas to be out there, and have faith this site may find solutions to share.

But almost everything in article about Monsanto, Roundup and Infertility, as well as about the Gates Foundation relative to sterilization and euginics is a lie, a BIG LIE propaganda used to sell get rich quick schemes and other BS sold on activistpost.com, a totally illegitimate source of information.

lol, whole foods has already caved to Monsanto , truth be told, I live near DC and the elites when they do go shopping , put a baseball cap on and t shirt and go to trader joe's and ALDI ......no lie, they avoid whole foods like the plague perfect cover, those stores have a terrible reputation for GMO and sell stuff as cheaply as possible

Don't drag God in the into the picture. He instructed us to take care of the lands he gave us and we let this one escape our notice and timely retorts and support of our Congressmen and Senators. If they do not listen to us, we can put up a petition to be copied and sent formally to both houses,the FDA, President Obama, himself, and retain one or more for yourself and anyone we forgot like Monsanto.
